________________________________________________________________________________________________________

3 tbsp of pure olive oil

2 cloves of fresh garlic

Step 2: Step 2: Prepare Ingredients

All you want to do is warm up the garlic and olive oil.

So place the pan over a medium flame and stir until it's warmed up to body temperature.

Now you need to let it cool off so its comfortable to the ear.

First put a small amount on your wrist to feel if it's at body temperature, 95-100 degrees Fahrenheit

After it's cooled off, turn your ear that's in pain to the side so that its facing straight up.
Then just drop 2-3 drops into the ear.

Put the tissue slightly in the ear pressing against the ear.
(This is only to keep the oil from oozing out and soiling your pillow.)
